The Biber ("Beaver") was developed in 1943 and entered service in early 1944. It was crewed by one man and was armed with two externally mounted 21" torpedoes or mines intended to be used against Allied shipping. Whilst never a significant threat to Allied shipping over 320 were produced. This kit pairs well with Special Armour's 1/72 Biber Trailer - see my other items for sale.
